that_o the_o papist_n as_o very_a antichristian_n be_v worse_o than_o the_o false_a apostle_n they_o agree_v both_o in_o this_o that_o they_o join_v work_n with_o christ_n merit_n with_o mercy_n man_n with_o god_n in_o the_o mean_a of_o our_o salvation_n but_o herein_o the_o false_a apostle_n be_v less_o hurtful_a that_o they_o join_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n which_o god_n himself_o require_v the_o papist_n join_v work_n of_o supererogation_n which_o be_v such_o as_o god_n never_o command_v and_o prefer_v they_o as_o much_o more_o meritorious_a than_o any_o work_n which_o god_n have_v prescribe_v they_o both_o agree_v in_o this_o that_o they_o place_n righteousness_n in_o the_o observation_n of_o ceremony_n but_o the_o papist_n be_v more_o blasphemous_a than_o those_o false_a

for_o if_o righteousness_n come_v by_o the_o law_n then_o come_v it_o by_o such_o deed_n only_o as_o the_o law_n command_v and_o if_o a_o man_n may_v be_v justify_v by_o observation_n of_o ceremony_n they_o must_v be_v such_o ceremony_n as_o god_o have_v require_v when_o even_o of_o those_o which_o he_o himself_o require_v be_v do_v otherwise_o then_o he_o mean_v they_o he_o say_v 1●_o who_o

only_o by_o mercy_n only_o by_o faith_n so_o the_o cause_n now_o follow_v why_o ishmael_n can_v not_o be_v abraham_n heir_n and_o only_a isaac_n be_v because_o ishmael_n be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o isaac_n be_v bear_v by_o promise_n the_o inheritance_n depend_v whole_o upon_o the_o promise_n and_o the_o promise_n altogether_o upon_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n therefore_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o promise_n be_v the_o heir_n &_o not_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n but_o this_o at_o the_o first_o view_n seem_v to_o be_v strange_a why_o s._n paul_n shall_v say_v that_o ishmael_n be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n &_o isaac_n by_o promise_n whereas_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o difference_n but_o that_o isaac_n be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n as_o ishmael_n be_v for_o he_o be_v conceive_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o all_o the_o world_n as_o ishmael_n be_v it_o be_v the_o only_a privilege_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n to_o be_v conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n wherefore_o isaac_n may_v be_v think_v to_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o seem_v that_o ishmael_n be_v bear_v by_o promise_n for_o abraham_n be_v not_o move_v by_o fleshly_a lust_n to_o take_v agar_n to_o his_o wife_n but_o by_o the_o suggestion_n of_o sara_n that_o he_o may_v have_v a_o heir_n of_o the_o promise_n why_o shall_v not_o ishmael_n then_o who_o birth_n be_v seek_v by_o so_o good_a a_o intent_n be_v say_v to_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o promise_n and_o wherefore_o shall_v isaac_n be_v deny_v to_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n when_o he_o be_v conceive_v and_o bear_v as_o ishmael_n and_o all_o other_o man_n be_v but_o let_v we_o hear_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o bond_n woman_n be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o free_a woman_n by_o promise_n now_o let_v we_o see_v how_o ishmael_n be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n &_o isaac_n by_o promise_n if_o we_o look_v to_o the_o conception_n of_o ishmael_n we_o shall_v see_v nothing_o in_o it_o but_o carnal_a and_o fleshly_a not_o only_o because_o it_o be_v altogether_o according_a to_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n but_o also_o &_o chief_o because_o this_o devise_n of_o sara_n whereunto_o abraham_n consent_v to_o beget_v child_n of_o agar_n though_o it_o seem_v to_o come_v of_o a_o good_a intent_n yet_o be_v it_o altogether_o carnal_a and_o fleshly_a but_o god_n will_v have_v man_n devise_n to_o have_v no_o place_n in_o the_o nativity_n of_o isaac_n because_o he_o shall_v be_v a_o right_a figure_n and_o pattern_n of_o they_o that_o be_v heir_n of_o the_o promise_n for_o thus_o the_o case_n stand_v god_n have_v promise_v to_o abraham_n to_o give_v he_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n and_o to_o his_o seed_n which_o shall_v be_v as_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n and_o as_o the_o sand_n of_o the_o sea_n innumerable_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n and_o that_o in_o his_o seed_n all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v bless_v now_o abraham_n believe_v this_o promise_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o

old_a sara_n be_v both_o old_a and_o barren_a so_o that_o all_o hope_n of_o child_n between_o they_o seem_v too_o be_v cut_v of_o at_o last_o this_o device_n come_v into_o sara_n head_n that_o
